Max Keeley is a product designer, 3D artist, and creative technologist based in San Francisco. This portfolio represents the personal side of his practice — a space for physics simulations, interactive experiments, and product concepts created purely for the love of making. His work draws heavily from the golden era of game development, using nostalgia as a lens to champion human-centric creativity in an increasingly automated world. A firm believer that the future should be open-source, Max shares all asset in this portfolio for free — downloadable and usable across any platform, surface, or software.
Nearly a decade on Apple's Human Interface Design team left fingerprints on things you use every day — Siri, Safari, Apple Music, Messages, Search — the kind of foundational, systems-level work that doesn't fit neatly on a project page but quietly shapes how hundreds of millions of people interact with technology.
Focused mainly on foundational search before moving to Apple Music Production, and shared a brief period working with Marcom art department. See Client Login for full details.
From there, Max became senior design lead, interaction designer, and design systems librarian for Google's Material UI in-house with YouTube focused on live streaming tools — advocating for creator safety, and building gamified moments into live chat, creator tools, and the main watch page. See Client Login for full details.
Max is the founding visual designer at Together AI — The AI Native Cloud. They believe potential shouldn’t be locked behind walls of complexity or cost, and progress accelerates when the tools to build are open, when scale is shared, and when knowledge moves freely. Imagination is a force, and Together.ai builds a place where ideas can move, shift, take shape.
His updated foundational product UI emphasizes and establishes all the core services and technologies of the AI Native Cloud webUI. See more and sign up for free to get started or contact for deep-dive materials into the product design.
